Lars Tängmark was born on christmas day 1972 in Sollefteå, Sweden. In 1987 he learnt to play bass guitar and formed his first rudimentary band. In 1988 he was a founding member of the Wounded Meadow, an atmospheric synthpop band that exists to this day. In his late teens Lars developed an interest in extreme Metal and became involved in bands like Dawn and the Choir of Vengeance.
It was when the Wounded Meadow became less active in the late 90s that Lars started to record as a solo artist, now with a decidedly non-metal approach. His first outing was the CDR-album "Intervention" in 1999 and a year later came the second album "Revolutionaire". In 2001 Lars recorded the "Winds of Change" album as Lost in the Woods (later re-released as "Lars Tängmark's Lost in the Woods").
A long time coming, Lars third solo album was entitled "And That Day Will Come" and was released in mp3 format on the Odensjö Recordings label in september 2008. The album consists of the 41 minute long title track plus the shorter "Broslätt". "And That Day Will Come" is entirerly instrumental (apart from occasional worldless vocals) and consists of heavily mainpulated field recordings and equally deformed musical recordings. A fourth album, "Full Frontal Emptiness" was released in february 2009. This time the tracks were shortened down to the ten minute mark, but the music is just as abstract as that on "And That Day Will Come" but more varied, incorporating improvisational pieces and hand percussion. Album number five was released just one month later. It bears the title "Son of a Bitch Everything's Real" and refines the formula of the last two albums.
Currently (March 2009) Lars is working on an album called "God's Garden" which will eventually be released on portugese netlabel XS records. Also underway is a project called the Fuck Machine, which is a collaboration with Johan Levin (Desiderii Marginis, Wounded Meadow).
